You may desire, but be prepared for any eventuality. Make effort, but do not be lost in the result. Accept with equanimity whatever happens. For pleasure and pain are mere mental modes. They have no relation to the objective realities.

Each pleasure is wrapped in pain. You soon discover that you cannot have one without the other. Real happiness is not vulnerable, because it does not depend on circumstances .Real happiness flows from within.
Nisargadatta Maharaj
If love can fade, then so can pain.

The pain will not go away by getting angry or bitter, it will go away when you learn to accept life’s challenges with grace and ease.
Pain is temporary
“Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever. That surrender, even the smallest act of giving up, stays with me. So when I feel like quitting, I ask myself, which would I rather live with?”
